- SEO by the SEA - How well can an algorithm determine how “cluttered” a web page is, as opposed to an actual person making the same determination? That’s hard to say for certain. With so many pages on the web, asking people to review pages for clutter is impractical.

Using a program that can help a site owner make their pages less “cluttered” and therefore “more” usable may make it more likely that a site owner could run more effective advertisements on those pages.

Thanks for sphinning this, Dave.

The most exciting part of this to me is how they are approximating the design of the site to find the "usability aspects" that they are looking for.

Wondering if we will see this one soon.
